Youtube thread - check your performance or share interesting moments

There was a thread like this in BF3 section. Maybe we can continue the trend.

I recorded short part of a Zavod 311 domination round. It was a mess, and more or less shows exactly what I hate about BF4: you get slaughtered from all possible and impossible angles without being able to do jack shit about it. The new spawn system doesn't help that much either.
Anyway, for you viewing pleasure. Any tips what I do wrong welcome.

Yea BF4 has too many angles to cover, especially in Domination. For domination these are tips I use

1. Stay with your squad or team mates. You cannot cover every angle, but having 4-5 guys moving with you increases your chances of survival.
2. If you want to lone wolf it, then flank. I also recommend using a silencer or flash hider at the very least if you want to go this route.
3. If you want to defend a flag, make sure you sit out of the capture zone. This way enemies wont pile onto the flag and kill you from every angle.
4. Invest in a decent pair of gaming headphones. Your awareness will be doubled in close quarter situations.
5. Pray to God hit detection and latency are on your side.

4:58 in your video I hate that shit. Also i'm surprised that dude killed 2 people with a pistol with 846 ping.

I should maybe begin to record the pubs sessions as well, now that we have this thread Expect hours of gameplay (often bad) to come
(if in the end it allows other to tell me what I'm doing wrong that would be perfect )

A lot of surprise buttsecks factor, but I still get my ass raped way too much... Something is not right. What shall I do?

Don't take this as gospel but as some friendly pointers. These are some mistakes I noticed you committing:

0:20 Classic mistake. Going for the revive at a corner before clearing the area.
0:53 Hipfire at long range.
1:20 You parachute down into the exact same area where you were previously killed and could see several enemies moving about. It went well this time but you exposed yourself unnecesarily.
1:50 You're trying to 1-on-1 an enemy on a higher floor. You're more exposed than he is.
2:10 You are grinding the same opening and firing at the same spot. Essentially you're being predictable. Go around, flank or get on a higher floor.
2:40 Should probably slice that corner ADS a little further.
3:05 You start reloading and then when the reloading is almost complete you switch to your sidearm and blaze away from the hip while remaining stationary.
3:35 The second you get revived in BF4 you should get to cover and heal up, always assume you'll only have 20 health.
4:40 Despite seeing a lot of fire coming through that opening you stick your head out, repeatedly.

In general I'd say you're a bit undisciplined, you're in a rush. You don't go ADS and scan around nearly enough which is surprising considering how all your quick and easy kills are when you're ADS. You should also stick closer to teammates, if you are going to lone wolf you need to move in low traffic areas/around the map edges.
